DE Gaius Vaenuku takes in Irish-OU

Gaius Vaenuku (Euless, Texas/Trinity) claims offers from both Oklahoma and Notre Dame, and on Saturday, the 6-foot-6, 270-pound defensive end had a chance to get a solid glance at both programs.

Vaenuku was among the record-setting 86,031 crowd in attendance at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to witness Notre Dame’s 30-13 win against Oklahoma. The overall atmosphere of the stadium was one left him with lots of memories.

“I was supposed to go to the [Texas] A&M game last week, and I heard that was crazy, but I’ve never seen a crowd that crazy,” Vaenuku said of the Norman, Okla., experience. “They all had different chants, and the stadium seats were so close together. Everybody there was really into it.”
